Day dreaming at a bus stop
Zoning out when it hit me, hit me
We're all marching to the same beat
But no one knows where we're going

It's hard for me to keep up
Wearing shoes that don't fit me, fit me
So I'm gonna kick them off
And put on a pair of my own

The path of least resistance
Is easy, too easy
Like roasted versus instant
Under pressure we become refined

I'm taking the hard road
As long as it's my own
I'm taking the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm taking the hard road
With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone

One foot in front the other
The scenery not so pretty, pretty
Don't wanna shut it out
I'm living and I'm growing
Ain't looking for a shortcut
'Cos every time they short change me, change me
I won't sidestep the problems
'Co I'm learning how to use them, so

I'm taking the hard road
As long as it's my own
I'm taking the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm taking the hard road
With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone

Like when you broke my heart you loved me then you loved me not
Picking love apart like petals
Like when it's close but no cigar
It's hard to find the guts not to settle

The path of least resistance
Is easy, too easy
Like roasted versus instant
We become refined

I'm taking the hard road
As long as it's my own
I'm taking the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm taking the hard road
With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone

I'm taking the hard road
As long as it's my own
I'm taking the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm taking the hard road
With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
